Wigan vs Liverpool: Match Thread

[Fredo]

Not a lot of options as regards streams there. Apart from the Veetle one, everything else is really ****.

Think we might come down to earth with a bump tonight.

The sad thing is that noone in here would be surprised...
I've put on the Happy Hat and only want to think positive thoughts - we'll win 2-0

Kelly

No Poulsen

Unchanged line up, i'm happy with that but wtf is the deal with the bench - No Johnson, no Aurelio, no Babel???

Apart from N'gog there's no-one that you could invisage coming on and making a positive impact.

Babel's as good as gone.

Won't be missed either.

Think we might come down to earth with a bump tonight.

I do worry about the way we set up when we have to go out and attack another team. On the other hand Wigan are the odd combination of attacking in intent but lack of cutting edge that may just allow us to win anyway. Even if it is away.

Anyone know what game is on Five Live? The Manc derby is on TalkSport.

Poulsen's his boy. What's goin' on?

what's going on with pacheco?

Poulsen's his boy. What's goin' on?

To be fair to Roy (I know it's not popular in here ) he played Poulsen for a few games but threw him off when he realised just how bad he was.
I actually expected Roy to keep selecting him since he had raved so much about Poulsen

[Cleo]

what's going on with pacheco?

I've been wondering about that too - he hasn't been injured as far as I recall so it's probably (and sadly) a question of Roy not rating him

[-V-]

Babels busy, he's playing Black Ops

[danperkins]

We have no excuses not to win tonight with that team, Nzogbia and Rodallega are the danger men. If Nzogbia is on the left kelly could have a busy night. Common boys either manc teams are gonna drop points, Spurs dropped points, Arsenal have tough game away to Wolves too, we must get 3 points to keep up the pace. Be gutted if we don't capitalise on other results.

It has been one of the more heartening developments of recent weeks - both the inclusion of Lucas and the fact Roy is willing to change things when they don't work. His defence of him was interesting - comparing his position to that of Lucas. I have to say where I saw plenty of positive things that Lucas did even when others berated him I haven't seen anything other than one 'blockbuster' tackle from Poulsen.

I guess it is possible that Poulsen will show something once he has acclimatised. At the minute though I'm just glad he is having to do that on the training pitch. In some ways I think he might benefit if played in front of a quicker or at least more mobile backline (i.e. if Agger came back and were to play with Skrtel).
